• Link to AADI Oxygen Optodes, an introduction.

Commercially available oxygen optodes for oceanographic application were introduced by AADI in 2002.

The long-term stability (years) and reliability of these sensors have revolutionized oxygen measurements and several thousand are in use in applications ranging from streams to the deep sea, from fish farms to waste water, from polar ice to hydrothermal vents.
Here are examples of published scientific investigations in which AADI optodes have played a central role.

MIPEG crane load monitoring and safety systems
Since the 1970’s AADI has offered crane load monitoring and safety systems through the MIPEG brand.


It has become an industry standard for offshore crane load monitoring and safety systems.

Being engineered together with more than 40 international crane manufacturers, the MIPEG systems are used by more than 160 operators worldwide.


The systems are currently in use on more than 2000 offshore installations.

Today’s exploration and development sites are located in the deep ocean or in Arctic regions with harsh environmental conditions, making it increasingly difficult to operate.


LOADTRONIC 3 and 3E - Wheel Loader Scales - Excavator Scales
 
LOADTRONIC 3 is the only truly dynamic system in the market today and it is also approved for legal trade in compliance with OIML R51/MID-006.

LOADTRONIC 3 gives our customers the advantage of weighing while moving the wheel loader.

In addition, LOADTRONIC 3 provides our customers with accurate weightings.

This increases productivity and profit, and also prevents overloading of the trucks.

 Environmental Research
AADI products for environmental research have been used in the oceanographic, hydrographic, river and lake research, as well as climate research markets for more than 40 years. AADI has completely renewed its product offering over the last 10 years. Today, AADI delivers the most technologically advanced self-contained and/or integrated remote underwater and atmospheric observation systems in the marketplace. 

Our Seaguard platform and expanding line-up of smart sensors may be used either as a self-recording instrument, or as a real-time Met-Ocean observing network. This versatility is available without the extra cost associated with a custom solution.

AADI systems for the environmental research communities include Seaguard RCM/CTD, Recording Doppler Current Profiler, automatic weather stations, wave and tide stations and buoy systems. Stand-alone sensors are available for measuring parameters such as conductivity, temperature, pressure, oxygen, wave and tide, currents and water level.

Aquaculture
AADI offers real- time environmental monitoring system for aquaculture. The information is used by the aquaculture farming companies to plan and adjust feeding and thereby avoid feed spillage. By monitoring the conditions our customers operate more efficient and save money on feed.

AADI’s standard systems monitor current speed, current direction, water temperatures and oxygen inside and outside the cage. Other options are measurement of salinity, pH chlorophyll and additional parameters.

The systems are recalibration free for years. Data are displayed on screen in real-time and stored for reporting and later analysis. Weekly, monthly and yearly reporting functions are included in the display software.

In addition to the real time systems, AADI offer survey instrumentation with reporting software or/and reports for profile of current, waves, oxygen, salinity and temperatures.

Med vekt på gravemaskinen - Av: Knut Viggen • mandag 06. desember 2010 , kl. 15:12

Da Bergensfirmaet Aanderaa Data Instruments (AADI) tidligere i år lanserte en vekt for gravemaskiner passet det midt i blinken for Nordfjord Skifer AS. De selger nemlig stein i tonn.

Nå har maskinfører Kjell Solheim kjørt sin nye Volvo EC 210 LC med gravemaskinvekt i et par uker og synes det fungerer meget godt.

Loadtronic 3
Maskinparken består av fire gravemaskiner og en hjullaster og det har for det meste handlet om Volvo.

Da en av gravemaskinene tidligere i år passerte 8000 timer bestemte Sunde seg for å kjøpe to nye maskiner. Volvo trakk det lengste strået og to Volvo EC210 LC ble kjøpt inn. Den ene ble levert med Loadtronic 3 gravemaskinvekt fra Aanderaa Data Instruments (AADI), den første som er levert til en Volvo gravemaskin. Aanderaa har tidligere hatt stor suksess med hjullastervekter, er markedsledende på dette her til lands og har også mange kunder utenfor Norges grenser.

Riktig vekt
– Vi ønsket vekt på den ene gravemaskinen. For oss er det viktig å kunne sende av gårde et vogntog med riktig vekt. Vi fikk oss en lærepenge på dette området for en tid tilbake og ønsket ikke å bli tatt flere ganger for å ha kjørt ut for tunge biler. Vekta koster 78.000 kroner ferdig montert og det er en investering vi regner med å ta inn på et par måneders drift. Nå har jeg investert i to nye gravemaskiner som jeg regner med å ha i fem år. Kostnaden for vekta utgjør ikke mye av totaliteten. I tillegg kan jeg ta betalt pr. tonn, mens det før var last-pris som gjaldt, forklarer Sverre Anton Sunde.

Lastesyklus
Vekta består av en enhet inne i førerhytta som kan leses av maskinføreren. I tillegg sitter det en rotasjonssensor på maskinen, en sensor på bom og en på stikka. Vekta kan stilles på forskjellige nivåer og man kan gå inn og stille og designe en egendefinert lastesyklus. Det betyr at maskinfører Kjell Solheim kan laste en hel bil med stein og vite når det er på tide å si ”stopp”.

 Road & Traffic
AADI produce advanced traffic classifying systems and road weather stations for road and traffic authorities.  

Traffic classifying systems from AADI can utilize inductive loops, piezo electric cables and Doppler radar for detection and classification of vehicles. The systems provide parameters such as speed, length, gap and class of every vehicle that passes. Data can be displayed on screen in real-time or may be stored for later analysis.  

Road weather systems from AADI can combine sensors from our own product range as well as third party sensors. The products can be delivered as stand-alone devices, or as an advanced part of a complete traffic monitoring system or road weather system. Both systems may utilize solar cell powering due to low power consumption.  

We acknowledge the challenges facing today’s traffic industry and in cooperation with our customers have developed high quality and cost effective solutions.

 Marine Transportation
AADI offers real-time Met/Hydro systems for docks, ports, harbour and fairway, marine terminals and offshore, as part of our standard system deliveries. We are the manufacturer of the systems and components used to measure wind,pressure,visibility, sea and air temperature, sea currents, waves and tides. Data from systems can be collected and distributed at customer’s own preference.

Knowledge of current speed and direction in real-time at multiple depths will increase navigation safety and guide vessels to the correct entrance based on size, cargo and displacement. This is especially valuable when performing difficult maneuvering and in narrow areas.

AADI also manufactures products and systems for hydrographic survey as well as environmental monitoring. The data output will provide decision makers with important information and help them get the recovery equipment on site to prevent further environmental damage.

AADI equipment may provide valuable information to predict sediment movement and be input in connection with the dredging planning process.
